he is using a mixture of peat and very little compost.

next week he will be getting a ph tester, what is the ideal ph level?

he does not over water, he waits for the mixture to dry, as you can see from the pictures and then waters about 100 ml every 5 days or so.

will the soil that is found in the forest be ok instead of commercial peat? and instead of perlite use cat litter (those little rocks). shall he use compost too?

and thanks for everything.
